Save a $1 a Day with these Energy Efficiency Tips
|
|
|
Here are some simple, low-cost or no-cost steps you can take to cut your daily energy costs to save a dollar a day!
|

|
Unplug cell phone chargers when not in use. Most small appliance chargers use power even when they are not “charging”! Learn more about energy vampires.
|

|
Don’t use a second refrigerator and freezer to save 48 cents a day. (If you need that second unit during the holidays or special occasions, plug it in two days before you need it.)
|

|
Use the microwave instead of an electric oven and save up to 19 cents a day.
|

|
Turn off your big-screen TV when you aren’t watching and save up to 17 cents a day.
|

|
Reduce the number of electric dryer loads and drying time from 24 hours per month to 12 hours per month and save 13 cents a day on energy costs.
|

|
Replace the five most frequently used light bulbs in your house with ENERGY STARŪ compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) and save 16 cents a day.
|

|
Other measures, like cooking with small appliances instead of large ones, using the “air dry” feature on your dishwasher and adding R7 attic insulation can eliminate up to another 20 cents a day from your bill.
